Fdi in Indian Subcontinent

i. Automatic route FDI up to 100 per cent is allowed under the automatic route in all activities/sectors except where the provisions of the consolidated FDI Policy, paragraph on ‘Entry routes for Investment’ issued by the Government of India from time to time, are attracted. FDI in sectors /activities to the extent permitted under the automatic route does not require any prior approval either of the Government or the Reserve Bank of India. ii. Government route

FDI in activities not covered under the automatic route requires prior approval of the Government which are considered by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance.

Indian companies having foreign investment approval through FIPB route do not require any further clearance from the Reserve Bank of India for receiving inward remittance and for the issue of shares to the non-resident investors.

As can be seen that since 2005-06 there has been a significant difference in the amount of FDI inflows through the two routes a possible explanation for which could be that with the investment climate in India improving and healthy competition among states to 3

http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/FAQView.aspx?Id=26India’s Experience with FDI: Role of a Game Changer 8attract FDI, the government eased foreign investment regulations leading to a spurt in FDI coming through the RBI route, which is a positive sign. As per the data available there is an increase in share of inflows through the RBI’s automatic route, a decrease in the shares of inflows through the SIA/FIPB. (Chart 3)

Why does the government differentiate between various forms of foreign investment?

FDI is preferred over FII investments since it is considered to be the most beneficial form of foreign investment for the economy as a whole. Direct investment targets a specific enterprise, with the aim of increasing its capacity/productivity or changing its management control. Direct investment to create or augment capacity ensures that the capital inflow translates into additional production. In the case of FII investment that flows into the secondary market, the effect is to increase capital availability in general, rather than availability of capital to a particular enterprise. Translating an FII inflow into additional production depends on production decisions by someone other than the foreign investor — some local investor has to draw upon the additional capital made available via FII inflows to augment production. In the case of FDI that flows in for the purpose of acquiring an existing asset, no addition to production capacity takes place as a direct result of the FDI inflow. Just like in the case of FII inflows, in this case too, addition to production capacity does not result from the action of the foreign investor – the domestic seller has to invest the proceeds of the sale in a manner that augments capacity or productivity for the foreign capital inflow to boost domestic production. There is a widespread notion that FII inflows are hot money — that it comes and goes, creating volatility in the stock market and exchange rates. While this might be true of individual funds, cumulatively, FII inflows have only provided net inflows of capital.

FDI tends to be much more stable than FII inflows. Moreover, FDI brings not just capital but also better management and governance practices and, often, technology transfer. The know-how thus transferred along with FDI is often more crucial than the capital per se. No such benefit accrues in the case of FII inflows, although the search by FIIs for credible investment options has tended to improve accounting and governance practices among listed Indian companies.

According to the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Committee, net FDI inflows amounted to $8.5 billion in 2006-07 and is estimated to have gone up to $15.5 billion in 07-08. The panel feels FDI inflows would increase to...

...Controversy over Indian retail reforms
A horticultural produce retail market in Kolkata, India; produce loss in these retail formats is very high for perishables
Critics of the Indian retail reforms announcement are making one or more of the following points:,[50][51]
Independent stores will close, leading to massive job losses. Walmart employs very few people in the United States. If allowed to expand in India as much as Walmart has expanded in the United States, few thousand jobs may be created but millions will be lost.
* Walmart's efficiency at supply chain management leads to "direct" procurement of goods from the supplier. In addition to eliminating the "middle-man", due to its status as the leading retailer, suppliers of goods also bend over backwards to drop prices in order to assure consistent cash flow. There is the fear that this may not benefit the farmer, or the suppliers of Walmart.
* The small retailer and the middle man present in the retail industry plays a large part in supporting the local economy, since they typically themselves procure goods and services from the area they have their retail shops in. This leads to increased economic activity, and wealth redistribution. With large, efficient retailers, the corporate profits are not spent in the areas where they're generated, hence killing the local economy.
* Walmart will lower prices to dump goods, get competition out of the way, become a monopoly, then raise...

...Impact of FDI In
The Indian Retail Sector

FDI is a mode of entry to international business. It refers to the investment made in a foreign country where the investor retains control over the investments.

FDI as defined in Dictionary of Economics ( by Graham Bannock) as investment in a foreign country through the acquisition of a local company or the establishment there of an operation on a new (Greenfield) site.
FDI may be of 2 types:

• Without Alliances – Through the Green field strategy where the company begins its business from scratch in a foreign country.

...FDI AND INDIAN ST MARKET
Abstract—Unprecedented globalizations have witnessed
double digit economic growth resulting in fierce competition
and accelerated pace of innovation. As a result inflow of
Foreign Direct investments has become a striking measure of
economic development in both developed and developing
countries. FDI and FII thus have become instruments of
international economic integration and stimulation.
Fast
growing economies like Singapore, China, Korea etc have
registered incredible growth at onset of FDI. Though US
captures most of the FDI inflows, developing countries still
account for significant growth of FDI and rise in FII. FDI not
only gives access to foreign capital but also provides domestic
countries with cutting edge technology, desired skill sets, tools
of innovation and other complementary skills. The policies
drafted to stimulate the flow of foreign capital in to India
provided much needed impetus for India to emerge as an
attractive destination for foreign investors. External factors
such as global economic cues, FDI & FII, Exchange rate and
Internal factors such as demand and supply, market cap, EPS
generally drive and dictates the Indian stock market. The
current paper makes an attempt to study the relationship and

FDI in Retail sector:
No I am not in the favor of FDI in retail.
"Competition is always in the favor of consumers, monopolies not".
1. They adopt Predatory pricing strategy.
Predatory pricing (also undercutting) is a pricing strategy where a product or service is set at a very low price, intending to drive competitors out of the market, or create barriers to entry for potential new competitors.
How it works:
Big brands like Wal-Mart, Tesco etc. Buys goods from farmers or manufacturer in dirt cheap price then they sell those products to customers after adding up their margin on it. This process continues till other competitor exit from the business.
After then they start up rising their profit margin on the product because it is only available in their stores.
Painful Experiences:
1. On feb.2008 European Union adopted a declaration because of farmer's protest around the euro zone. In that declaration it was stated that - evidence from across EU suggests large super stores are abusing their power to focus down prices take suppliers to unsustainable levels and impose unfair condition on them. The declaration came because of farmers protests in front of super markets across European countries like France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium the nature of the complaints are similar in the zone, which are as follows:

...Judiciary of IndianSubcontinent
The present legal and judicial system of Bangladesh owes its origin mainly to two hundred years British rule in the Indian Sub-Continent although some elements of it are remnants of Pre-British period tracing back to Hindu and Muslim administration. It passed through various stages and has been gradually developed as a continuous historical process. The process of evolution has been partly indigenous and partly foreign and the legal system of the present day emanates from a mixed system which has structure, legal principles and concepts modeled on both Indo-Mughal and English law. The Indian sub-continent has a known history of over five hundred years with Hindu and Muslim periods which preceeded the British period, and each of these early periods had a distinctive legal system of its own.
The Hindu period extends for nearly 1500 years before and after the beginning of the Christian era. The ancient India was divided into several independent states and the king was the Supreme authority of each state. So far as the administration of justice was concerned, the king was considered to be the fountain of justice and was entrusted with the Supreme authority of administration of justice in his kingdom.
The Muslim period starts with the invasion of the Muslim rulers in the Indian sub-continent in 1100 A.D. The Hindu Kingdoms began to disintegrate gradually...
